You either buy Adobe Acrobat, or download a free- or shareware PDF writer,
and install it.

Try this one: http://www.exp-systems.com/PDFreDirect/

They have a free and a professional version. The free one worked fine for us.

Many folks like the free Primopdf but I prefer the modest priced PDF-XChange
for two reasons.

I makes email addresses and urls active in the pdf files it creates and it
makes the smallest pdf files of any pdf creating program including Acrobat.

www.primopdf.com

http://www.docu-track.com/ for PDF-XChange

To use either, when in any program and you want to create a pdf file, select
File, Print and on the Printer window select the pdf program from the
printer drop down menu.

Good luck,

If you are using Office2003 then you should also have the benefit of
using Microsoft Image Writer which can create files similar to pdf but
not compatible.

Also, in the next version of Office (say office 12 or Office 2006) you
will have the benefit of creating pdf files by default.

At present you will need to buy adobe acrobat version 7 to create pdf
files or Scansoft's pdf creator. Install it and it should create a
printer on which you print to create pdf. Adobe creates an icon in
office/ie6 to create/convert to pdf.

Agreed, it's a favourite here.

And to my understanding, not an open/published standard either.

There are free (open source too) options too...
